blynx Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi, is it somehow possible to add new users as children of other users? I want to group users and thought that would be a nice structure to have groups of users put together as children of other users. Basically like: Users Group A User 1 User 2 User 3 Group B User 4 User 5 User 6 User 7 ... I edited the user template to be able to have children and parents of user-templates - yet, whenever I add a child to a user it automatically will be appended to the 'Users' page. Also I cant move them from there, it says "You do not have permission to move pages using this parent - /backend/access/users/group-a/" Couldn't find a solution so far - I think there is some intention behind it, because it is some admin/system stuff - but couldn't it be made possible? -Steffen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 What about using user roles for this scenario instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Not sure if this solves your needs in another way, but check out this module: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/5658-alpha-release-usergroups-page-based-permissions/ But, you might also be able to achieve what you want through some recent additions to dev which allows for parents for users: http://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-core-updates-2.5.14/#multiple-templates-or-parents-for-users 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blynx Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 @marcus I thought about that but I don't want to spam the roles with hundreds of groups. Also I could add another page which hold those groups which hold the according users. I will try to do this now - but I thought that first solution would be something clever and 'semantically neat' ... uhm or so ... edit: @adrian Aha! I think I will try out the latest dev version - I think this is exactly what I thought of! Thank you, both of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
